I could have died of boredom there and you planned a heist and didn't invite me.

You're a monster.

[selection]

I wouldn't say planned, exactly. You did note I said I was drunk, didn't you?

[ this. this is why he figured it would be all right to tell her. dangerous, perhaps, but jack deveny the alias has always been a collector and a thief, so it's hardly betraying the mask he wears here. ]

[realists]

You couldn't have drunkenly found me?

[selection]

I suppose I could have. But maybe you should have simply kept a closer eye on me.

[realists]

I was distracted

[selection]

By what? Or should I say who?

[realists]

You have incredible shoulders but they're no match for Nicky's fruit tarts.

[selection]

I'm going to focus on the first part of that sentence, thank you.

[realists]

I like food more than people, you should get used to that

[selection]

If you're very, very nice to me, I'll cook my risotto for you some time.

[realists]

I don't know what risotto is

And I think you owe me

[selection]

A rice dish. I make it with truffle. Smells like feet, I've been told, but tastes wonderful.

Whatever for?

[realists]

[ she doesn't know what truffles are either so she just ignores the food talk. she'll eat anything. ]

You did a heist without me!

[selection]

A minor one. And the thing is, I work better alone.

[realists]

That doesn't mean I'm not going to hold it against you

[selection]

That seems terribly selfish of you.

[realists]

Were you under the impression I'm a good person?

[selection]

No more than me, no.

[realists]

So when are you going to make me truffle risotto that smells like feet?

[selection]

When are you going to be nice to me?

[realists]

I'm not nice

[selection]

I haven't asked you to be a good person or anything of the sort, you'll note.

[realists]

For the best, I'm not that either.

[selection]

How fortunate.

[realists]

Besides

I think you'd enjoy it were I mean to you
